  • What types of projects do you take on?
    We specialize in transforming residential and vacation homes into one-of-a-kind, personality-packed spaces that seamlessly blend luxury and everyday comfort. Our projects range from one-room refreshes to full-home construction projects, thoughtfully designed to enhance functionality and elevate the way you experience your space.
  • What are the first steps in working together?
    The first step in our process is a free 15-minute discovery call to gather general details about your project, answer any questions about our services and process, and make sure we're a good fit for your project. The next step is scheduling an initial consultation so we can see your space and assess its unique needs, take measurements to determine proper space planning and furniture sizes, start brainstorming and sharing fun ideas, and establish a scope of work to execute your project. Following the initial consultation, we'll deliver a project proposal that includes a breakdown of the scope of work as well as the investment associated.
  • What does the initial consultation include?
    The purpose of the initial consultation is for us to can see your space and start brainstorming fun ideas, offer on-the-spot recommendations to improve the space overall, establish a general shopping list and scope of work, and take measurements to determine proper furniture sizing. Whether you decide to hire us beyond the consultation to execute the project or not, there is a TON of value in the consultation itself. It’s essentially 60-90 minutes of picking our brain, talking through your design dilemmas, and getting professional guidance.
  • How do you price your services?
    We offer a variety of services tailored to fit the individual needs of each client and project. Services are priced as a flat fee, which is based off the unique scope and scale of the project. For smaller projects, we provide the option to work with us on an hourly basis through pre-purchased design hours.
  • What role does an interior designer have in a renovation project?
    Your interior designer serves as your expert guide and advocate throughout the renovation process, acting as a liaison between you and the tradespeople involved. We ensure that every decision aligns with your vision and that the project runs smoothly. With your best interests at heart, we’re as committed to achieving a flawless outcome as you are!
  • Do you have your own contractors or will I need to coordinate my own?
    We have a trusted, highly-vetted network of contractors and tradespeople to help bring our designs to life and can recommend professionals who align with your project needs. If you already have contractors in mind, we’re happy to work with them too as long as we feel they're qualified and a good fit for the project.
  • Do you source products from retail or trade vendors?
    We source products from both retail and trade vendors around the globe, giving us exclusive access to furniture and décor suppliers reserved for professional designers, architects, and builders.
  • Will I be able to see furniture in-person before ordering?
    If it’s a retail product and there’s a store near you that carries it, then absolutely! However, trade products are typically not available to view locally in-person. That’s one of the reasons we, as interior designers, attend market twice a year—to see, feel, and sit-test products ourselves, so we can confidently speak to their quality and comfort on your behalf.
  • Do you work virtually?
    Yes, we can make magic from miles away! For virtual projects, we do require a Matterport (3D virtual tour) of the property, which is likely offered by most real estate photographers in your area . This technology provides us with accurate measurements of your space, enabling us to make precise recommendations and determine proper space planning and furniture sizes. This process ensures a seamless and efficient project and client experience, even from a distance.
  • Do you travel for projects?
    Yes! We take on design projects nationwide, serving clients coast to coast.
  • Will I have access to your designer discounts?
    While clients don’t directly access designer trade pricing (because it's exclusive to design professionals), working with us provides access to trade-only products not available through traditional retail brands. We ensure you always pay either the equivalent of or slightly less than standard retail pricing while benefiting from unique, high-quality selections.
  • What are your business hours?
    Monday – Friday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST.
  • When should I hire an interior designer?
    The earlier in your project you involve an interior designer, the better the outcome tends to be. Having professional guidance from the very beginning allows your designer to assist you in every decision, detail, and specification – and helps you to avoid costly mistakes. While we can join at any stage, early involvement allows for greater adaptability and avoids missed opportunities.
  • Can you do all different styles?
    Yes, we work with all design styles. One of our greatest strengths as designers is the ability to adapt to a wide range of aesthetics—ensuring your space reflects your vision, not ours. Our role is to guide, advise, and bring your dream space to life in a way that feels authentic to your personal style and everyday needs.
  • Can you work with some of our existing furniture and decor?
    Most likely, yes! We do our best to incorporate your existing pieces into the design plan whenever possible, depending on how well they align with the updated aesthetic and fit within the space.
  • How involved will I have to be in the design project?
    Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. We gather all the essential information at the start of your project—your vision, style, preferences, and lifestyle needs—so we can confidently curate a space that feels like you. Whether you prefer to take a step back or stay more hands-on, we’re happy to work in the way that suits you best.
  • What if you present something I don’t love?
    The most important thing is that you love your space. We see design as a collaborative process, so if something doesn’t feel quite right, simply request a revision and we’ll provide an alternative option that better aligns with your vision. We include two complimentary rounds of revisions, additional revisions available at our hourly rate.
  • How long does the full process take?
    The duration and timeline of your project depends entirely on the scope of work and contractor’s availability if renovations are involved. Good design takes time! We will always discuss your timeframe needs as well as a realistic estimated timeline before the project begins so you have an idea of what to expect.
  • What about the accessories?
    Oh—you mean our favorite part? We handle all the finishing touches, thoughtfully styling your space with art, accessories, textiles, and decor to create a polished, cohesive look that feels complete and ready to enjoy.
  • When is the best time to contact you about working together?
    The ideal time to schedule your initial consultation is while the property is under contract so we can gather measurements and necessary details before closing. This way, once closing goes through, we’re ready to hit the ground running with the design process - minimizing downtime and maximizing your investment.
  • Is professional design necessary for vacation home properties?
    Professional design is essential for success in the competitive vacation rental market. A thoughtfully designed property not only helps you stand out but also allows you to charge premium rates and maintain high occupancy. Design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating an unforgettable experience that keeps guests coming back and ensures your investment thrives.
  • How involved will I have to be in the design project?
    Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. We gather all the essential information at the start of your project—your vision, preferences, and needs—so we can confidently curate a space that will outshine your competition. Whether you prefer to take a step back or stay more hands-on, we’re happy to work in the way that suits you best.
  • Do you take my personal style into consideration when designing?
    If you plan to use the property for personal vacations as well, we’re happy to thoughtfully weave in elements that reflect your personal style. But if profitability is the primary goal, we strongly recommend designing with your highest-paying potential guests in mind. By aligning the space with what they value most, we can create a property that stands out in the market, commands premium rates, and stays consistently booked.
  • How long do projects typically take?
    The duration and timeline of your project depends entirely on the scope of work and contractor’s availability if renovations are involved. We will always discuss your timeframe needs as well as a realistic estimated timeline before the project begins so you have an idea of what to expect. If the project does not involve construction (furniture and decor only), we usually estimate 6-8 weeks from signing of contract to installation.
  • Do you do refreshes for existing vacation home properties?
    Yes! Even top-performing properties benefit from a refresh from time to time. With new properties hitting the booking platforms daily, ensuring your property stays updated and visually fresh is key to remaining competitive.
  • I need the property photoshoot ready. Do you style the space with accessories too?
    Absolutely! We take pride in seeing your project through to completion, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully curated to create an unforgettable guest experience. From pool floaties and board games to books and spa-rolled towels, it’s the finishing touches that truly bring your space to life and set the tone for an exceptional stay.
